FireDaemon is a system utility that allows you to install and run any 32-bit or 64-bit application (EXE or DLL) or script (BAT CMD, .NET, Perl, Java, Python, TCL TK) as a Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista service.

FireDaemon enables complete configuration of the installed service, which can be completed from the GUI or via XML.

Among its key features is a low memoryd and CPU overhead, subprocess prioritization, support for custom environments, CPU binding, plus monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log files.

FireDaemon provides maximum uptime for particular applications, securing them against accidental crashes or intentional shutdowns.

A program, setup as a service, runs in the background all the time, regardless of who is or is not logged in.

This can be useful for certain programs, such as network management or business productivity software, that you would like running all the time.

Another benefit is the ability to run as a specific local or domain user.

Added to this is the ability to configure a service to run for specific periods of time during the day, week or month.

This considerably simplifies systems administration and management.
